Anniversary of Roe Vs. Wade

January 22, is a day that should not pass lightly. This day the Supreme court made murder legal in our country and it continues today. It was Friday, so I was teaching art class this morning and to start the day we try to get to school in time for Holy Mass. We made it with a few minutes to spare, which I am happy to report is becoming a habit. Mass went as usual. I spent most of the time wrangling the four little children. Max is all over the place and always growling at whoever will listen. Natalie wants to push and shove her way into everyone else's spot. Lily is too helpful at times and Nicholas is just a baby, he does what babies do.

Most days I spend my time going from the corner in the back to our seats. I very rarely hear much of the sermon, and to day was no different. I will digress for a minute for all you moms who say, "Why do it then?" . It is simple, to set an example. They will never learn if I don't teach them. They will never experience Mass if I don't take them. And my discomfort just may lead to their holiness some day.

I don't see that often. The children are still young, but I do see it. When the four year old says she wants to go to heaven. When the three year old sings Holy, Holy, Holy at the top of her lungs and off key. When my two year old falls on his knees in the adoration chapel and says, "I love you Jesus." Today as I struggled through Mass this is what I kept in mind. This and how many children loose their lives at the hands of abortions evils.

The 7th and 8th graders took turns updating numbers under the clock to track how many babies were aborted today. Before Mass even started the number was 9.

Some days it is not about being Supermom. I can only be thankful for the opportunity to be a mom. The honor that is . God trusts me to raise these solders for the duty of bringing him glory. Today , I pray that Supermom can humbly encourage these little ones to grow up and fight for those who have no one to fight for them. To bring about an end to the horrors that Roe Vs. Wade encourages and allows.
